Whale Watching Tours

Come along with us for a 3-hour true Alaska experience.  We go to places that are the most common for hump back whale watching.  We often see many other marine mammals such as sea otters, porpoise and eagles. Hoonah has a rich history and our knowledgeable staff will keep you entertained when whale watching turns into whale waiting.

Here are the directions to be picked up for your tour:

If your ship is docked at the Adventure Dock, proceed through the Icy Strait facility to the main exit toward the town of Hoonah. Ask any Icy Strait Point employee in a red shirt/jacket for directions to the Main Entrance of Icy Strait Point. Our driver will be waiting at the main gate to pick you up for your tour.

If your ship is docked at the Wilderness Dock, you will take the green gondola transport to the Adventure Landing. Upon exiting the gondola, turn left and proceed to the walking path to the town of Hoonah. We will be waiting at the main gate to pick you up for your tour.
